=================================================== Provenance in Practice Workshop 2009 (PPW '09) Colocated with NbiS 2009 Indianapolis, USA, 19-21 August 2009 ===================================================

Overview ========

Provenance and related issues have gathered interest in the e-Research community. These include mechanisms to validate data that is generated through in silico experiments, to provide the context of the data and to help interpretation of experiments to name a few.

Provenance is not a new concept and has been used in historical studies for centuries. However, the new context of e-Research where the provenance concept needs to be applied, poses new challenges, which need to be solved as a multi-disciplinary effort.

In this workshop, we invite authors to submit their work on provenance in e-Research. As it is a relatively new area, the workshop aims to provide a place to discuss challenges, issues and success stories that authors may have so far experienced.

The workshop encourages submissions from the end users of provenance systems such as those used in computational chemistry, physics, biology, history, etc. The submission should discuss the provenance requirements of their domain and experiences in using existing provenance system.

It is envisaged that the workshop will be a meeting place of the providers (computer scientists) and the users of the provenance system where lively discussion can take place.

Topics ======

Topics of interest to the workshop include:

- Provenance requirements from different domains (chemistry, physics, arts, scientific publication, etc). - Data provenance - Process/Workflow provenance - Storing, querying and visualisation of provenance data - System prototypes - Contemporary issues and challenges in provenance practice and research

Important Dates ===============

Submission Deadline: Mar 21, 2009 Author Notification: May 5, 2009 Author Registration: June 1, 2009 Final Manuscript: June 5, 2009

Submission Guidelines =====================
